Like many of the bloggers that participated in popsicle week, I just couldn’t stop at one flavor. As I waited for my first pops to freeze, I was already thinking about the next kind I wanted to make. This variety is refreshing and the combination of blueberry, lime and a hint of vanilla is really, really good. I didn’t blend the mixture too much because I love that these pops have blueberry freckles.

They’re really a breeze to make, too. I’m already planning on serving these (unless another popsicle recipe turns my head) at a barbecue I’m planning for when Matt and Meg return from their European honeymoon in a couple of weeks. Marc and I will also be making cocktails with my brandied sour cherries for the occasion. I really can’t wait to crack that jar open after seven long weeks. It’s going to be good, friends.

Until then, popsicles fever continues.

I use this Progressive Popsicle Mold and love it. It’s an Amazon affiliate link that won’t cost you any more money, but I’ll get a little kickback if you use the link and that helps me run this little blog. Thanks for supporting Dula Notes!

Vegan Blueberry Lime Sherbet Popsicles

I like the look of the blueberry skin flecks, so I only blended for a little while. You can blend for longer if that’s not your thing. I used coconut sugar, but you can use demerara sugar, brown sugar and even maple syrup would be really good.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pints fresh blueberries (about 3 cups)

2/3 cup coconut sugar

1 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk

finely grated zest of 1 lime

freshly squeezed juice of 1/2 a lime

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Soak popsicle sticks in warm water for an hour (or insert into the mold after pops have set up in the freezer for about 1 hour).

Puree all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Pour the mixture into the popsicle mold. Add soaked popsicle stick and freeze for several hours or overnight. After popsicles are frozen, run pop mold under hot water for a few seconds to release the pops.
